A figure in a maroon turban and dark red robes, wearing a gold necklace and a long string of beads, sits on a gold ornate throne-like seat framed by hanging garlands of white and pink flowers. A bald man in orange-red robes and a black rudraksha mala stands at the right side of the palanquin. Roses, marigolds and white flowers decorate the platform, and a board reading 'Nithyanand Ji' is placed at the front. Strings of lights glow in the background.
